Well Wednesday was another day that we saw nothing being done with GG's except for laying in bed with her left arm immobilized so as to keep the incision from bleeding which is holding up the catheterization of the heart. We spent the day there except for some brief periods where we visited Erica and Tom's and got in some fun time with their kids. I finally beat 8 year old Peter in checkers after three humiliating defeats; this kid is a whiz at the game and I understand he is good at chess as well. Nancy played Sorry with several of the kids as well and we had a delightful piece of chocolate cake. We had our first genuine Cuban sandwiches for a late lunch and while they are delicious they are rather pricey at 22 bucks for two sandwiches, oh well we all wanted to try the real thing and had our desires fulfilled.
We got some heavy rain here last evening and it's raining again this morning. I'm hoping to get in a swim today as I just got back from the hospital with Betsy and dropped Nancy off. We have been keeping someone with GG round the clock. The staff did move in a recliner in the room so Betsy has slept there the past two nights which she said is quite comfortable. Betsy is a snorer much worst than Nancy so at least I'm getting some sleep as I perform taxi duties throughout the day. I learned this morning(thur) GG's sodium level is too low to perform the procedure today despite the wound has quite bleeding. We were hoping for some action today but they brought her breakfast this morning while Betsy was there and that is an indicator no procedure today. We would like to at least get her strong enough to take her home where we can better care for her and at least cut down on living out of a suitcase.
GG has been eating rather well as I fed her a lunch of grilled chicken and Spanish rice as well as vegetable soup yesterday while the girls were out taking a break. Arianne, Diane and Jacob(Eric's oldest son) visited yesterday afternoon then they dropped me off around 7:30 last night. Nancy came much later in the evening as she stayed until GG and Betsy fell asleep. The LaQuinta Inn has been very accommodating thus far as we reserve the room daily but with the holiday weekend the prices have nearly doubled and they did start to pro rate out room to weekly rates which has helped considerately. We need to do some laundry so we will visit Erica and Tom's as they have a commercial size washer and dryer with their large family. We when to Wal-Mart yesterday and purchased detergent, extra minutes for our Tracfone and the game of domino's so we can teach their kiddos this game. The kiddos are very competitive and love playing games and are fun to be around.
Well that's about it for the update on GG as she is still bed fast on her back awaiting to have the heart cath. We hope to find out shortly what the plan is for her so we can make plans on handling her around the clock care. We aren't sure what that will encompass but do know our life style will change and we won't know if we will be making the trip to the cabin this summer, Oh well, LATER
